The Syrian Army fully secures the Sukhna – Deir Ezzor road

A military commander in the Syrian army said on Saturday that the army had regained control of Sukhna – Deir Ezzor road, after the expulsion of armed militants from the areas it occupied recently.

“The Syrian army is currently securing the road to reopen it to the citizens and the military,” the field commander said.

He also predicted that “the process of securing the entire road will be completed within the next two days.”

On the other hand, the Syrian army continues to advance south of Deir Ezzor, where its forces reached Al-Mayadeen city and entered its western gates. It was able to besiege ISIS terrorists in the city to remove them completely, and the only way to them is to fled through the Euphrates towards the eastern banks of the river.

Observers believe that the army’s access to Al-Mayadeen will give a great impetus to the ongoing military operation on the eastern banks of the Euphrates.
